    Dry, chilly weather continues Friday night, but a new weather system will move into the Bellevue area early Saturday evening, bringing with it slushy snow. 

    City crews will work 24 hours a day to service city streets, but take extra caution and limit travel if possible; streets may be icy in places. See essential winter weather tips in: English, 繁體中文, español, 한국어, 日本語, Русский and Tiếng Việt.

    Some important reminders for winter weather:

    • For life-threatening emergencies, call 911.
    • Do not use any of the following indoors: generators, gasoline and propane heaters, outdoor heating equipment or cooking equipment such as grills and camp stoves.
    • Please clear sidewalks in front of your home of snow and ice to help keep people walking and rolling safe.
    • If possible, stay home and avoid driving during winter conditions.
      • If you must drive, consider the conditions — it may take more time to stop and turn.
      • If you are walking, wear shoes with good grip, wear ice grippers or bring a walking stick or other mobility safety device.
    • Leave extra distance behind snowplows and do not pass them.
    • If possible, do not park vehicles on streets. This allows our crews to plow the roadway quickly and safely.
